My mother never ever made a pot roast either.
I have made them but I use a good roast, carrots, onions, whole potatoes and sit the roast on celery. For liquid I use a can of tomatoes.
I have never heard of using soup in a pot roast. But then I am not very familiar with pot roast either. I guess maybe mom made what you'd call a pot roast was a roast with the veggies cooked around it and done in a roaster with foil around the roast. She didn't put liquid in it.
But no on the stove pot roast ever. But we had our own beef and ALL the chuck went into ground beef that was extra lean--I guess they trimmed the chuck.

It was AWFUL and we had it almost every Sunday.
Everything was terribly overcooked. Meat, potatoes, carrots, onions. All of them were mush. The only way I could get it down was to cover it in either ketchup or barbeque sauce. The thought of it makes me gag.
Fortunately, Dad finally spoke up and asked Mom to stop making it. I think it was probably a habit for her because it was what she had grown up with.

Yes, my Mom made pot roast. She usually cooked by herself as the kitchen wasn’t very big. I think it was meat, potatoes, carrots and liquid. When it finished cooking she made a gravy. I know she never used canned soup as she rarely bought cans of anything as we couldn’t afford it.

Pot roast was a winter staple on Sunday when I was growing up. Mom (or dad) would put a chuck roast in one of those speckled roasting pans with a lid, along with quartered potatoes, carrots and parsnips....plus some basic seasonings. She'd put it in the roaster oven early and it would cook until we got back home from church service. Sometimes she'd make mashed potatoes, but she'd always make a wonderful gravy in the pan from the liquid. Nice memories! Nothing fancy, but oh so good!

- @SandySparkles Funny Story. Our young don went to a friend's home to spend the night. The mother made meatloaf and as most do, put catsup on it. He thought it was SO weird!
- I explained to him that we were the odd ones! Most of the time meatloaf had tomato on it!!!!! You should have seen his face!!!!
I am still laughing.😂😂😂-poor little guy.😁 My mother loved growing and cooking tomatoes. She even cooked fried green tomatoes sometimes. As a child I did not appreciate them, but as an adult, I LOVE them when done right.😋

@SandySparkles My Dad had a small garden and made fried green tomatoes. He broiled them instead of frying.

Mom made, what we called pot roast, with the beef, potatoes, carrots and maybe some onion. This was normally done in the crockpot with water and beef broth. She wasn't one to use a lot of herbs & seasonings so I'm sure it was just S&P. My version of this is actually a beef stew but I do use onion and use red potatoes or the small tri-colored potatoes. I use beef broth, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, S&P and I think it has some oregano in it too. I got the recipe from Pinterest.
